Revelation 3:10-11 -- On Holding On

"Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.
Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown."
Revelation 3:10-11

I don't think it is probably an exact equivalence, but I like how these verses talk about obedience / patience for temptation and also holding on to what we have (I'm assuming spiritually).

That gives us some things to work on if we really want to be delivered from temptation, and remind us that we need to build upon our testimonies rather than reverting to doubt and wiping out what we already know so that we keep having to start from scratch.  That method is easy to fall into if we let our faith be shaken, but if we anchor our faith in Christ and some fundamentals that we're solid in, then we don't have to go back and wonder about it all over again.  Instead, we can move on to the next level of knowledge in that thing.

Today, let's work on a little bit of obedience and patience, and let's hold on to what we have, testimony-wise, and not forget or doubt, so that we can continue to build and learn from God.
